Background

Pictures from this set form a collection of ships from an album covering KPM from June 18 1903 until May 1, 1932. Both Wiebe Bakker and Coendert van der Worp were captains working for the 'Koninklijke Paketvaart Maatschappij' in Indonesia. The handwriting on the album is most probable Coendert's. The text was a period ending at his retirement, leaving to Heemstede in The Netherlands. Coendert van der Worp and his friend and colleague Wiebe Bakker – they happen to be my grandfathers – were both photography and filming enthusiasts. It is assumed that Wiebe gave away the album to Coendert for his retirement.

The scans were made at 800 dpi and contain considerable detail. Even the licence plates of cars in front of the KPM building can be read. The original files are therefore fairly large. Click a thumbnail for a larger image or use the Original scan (800 dpi) link for the full-resolution file.

Unfortunately during World War II most of their work was confiscated by the Japanese or ended up somewhere at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.

The list is not complete in detail, it is uncertain which ship is applicable because several up following ships have the same name. There used to be a complete list at https://www.theshipslist.com/ships/lines/kpm.shtml. If you can identify the builds, please let me know.
